How the Credulous Public Was vfctImized
by Missouri Charlatan.
The great lesson which Cuvier taught
the world was that many races Of ami
mails were entirely extinct, and thai
natures chain of existence had not one
but many missing links. From his
recognition of that fact the science Of
pal@ontology may be said to date. But
the carnivorous nature of the mastodon
was too fascinating an absurdity to be
so easily killed. and it continued to APP
pear at intervals. AS late as 1885 we
find New England medical professor
writing as if it were an unquestionable
fact. The giant theory fingered still
longer, and even yet can not be consid-
cred entirely extinct among the I'M
learned. The dictum that the supersti-
tons of one age are but the science OF
preceding ages receives ampleconfirma-
ton in the history of this subject. Not
longer ago than 1876 mastodon skele-
ton was exhibited in New Orleans as
that of a giant. The Uranium was made
of raw hide, fantastic wooden teeth
were fitted in the jaws, all missing parts
were restored after the human model,
and the whole raised upon the hind legs.
1t certainly conveyed the notion of "a
hideous, diabolical giant" and was no
doubt responsible for many nightmares.
AS sad commentary on the state of
the medical profession in the Southwest
at that time, it may be added that the
exhibitor was perfectly honest in his
belief, and to support his faith he had
trunk full Of physicians certificates
that these were human bones.
In 1910 dr." Koch, a German char
.latan, created a great sensation by an
nouncing the discovery of the leviathan
of Job, which he called the Missourium,
from the State where it was found. It
turned out, however, to be nothing but a
mastodon preposterously mounted. Koch
had added an extra dozen OF more joints
to the backbone and ribs to the chest,
turned the tusks outward into q semi
circle, and converted the animal into an
aquatic monster which anchored itself
to trees by means Of its sickle-shaped
tusks and then peacefully slumbered
on the bosom of the waves. Like the
Siberians, he found interesting con-
firmations of his views in his book of
Job. that refuge Of perplexed monster
makers. Koch took his leviathan to
London, where it was purchased by the
British museum and reconverted into q
nastodon by Prof Owen, who at once
recognized its true nature. -Scri6ner's

CARE FOR THE AGED.
Facts Which Should BE Understood BY An

Facts which Should Be Understood BY An
on Whom Old People Depend.
Virgirs renowned hero, Eneas, re.
ceived his familiar epithet of s'pious''
from his loving care Of his old father,
Anchises. In all times and climes q
hike care has ever been regarded as a
prime demand upon filiaI piety. One
point at which such care may be exer-
cised is in guarding the health of our
aged parents, and thus protracting their
life and rendering it worth protracting.
The generation now nearing its close
had its birth and growth when this
whole matter was little understood even
by the medical profession. ALI knew
that it was common thing for the old
to be suddenly struck down with apo
plexy. or hurried to their graves by an
attack of pneumonia, or bronchitis due
to an ordinary cold. Of such and
kindred cases it was said they had died
of old age. Life, it was thought, had
reached its natural limit; the body was
worn out in every part and went to
pieces, as matter of course, all at
once, like the deacon's '.one-horse
shay" Now, as a general thing, we
might as well say that child dies Of
infancy when its mother does not suit
ably protect it. The fact is, every age
has its tendencies and special exposures.
In old age the arteries lose their
elasticity and toughness, and readily
give way, especially those of the brain,
under whatever quickens the action OF
the heart. The circulation, too, is
feeble, and slight chill is sufficient to
drive the blood back on the internal
organs, thus giving rise to various con-
gestions. Indeed, a common cold is
often much more dangerous to the aged
than smallpox to an adult, or scarlet
fever to child. The recuperative
power, also, is so weakened in the aged
as to make almost any ordinary all.
ment serious thing. The secretions
are greatly lessened, SO that digestion,
especially ofmeat, is much impaired, and
the bowels tend to severe constipation,
with its grave evils. Children, and all
on whom the aged depend, should not
only understand, but be alive to all
this. Says Prof. H. C. Wood, M. D.,
LII. D.:
"a large proportion of those who are
said to die from old age, really die from
the effects of exposure, and it must be
remembered that the term exposure is
relative. What in young man may
be nothing, may to an old man be a
serious matter. One of the most per-
feet projections from cold is buckskin
jacket. Nothing else will compare
with it. -. These patients must be
guarded especially against exposure to
wind-even more than against damp.
High winds chill the surface, Cypress
respiration, and are exceedingly dis
astrous to the life of any person whose
circulation is without power. 4. Stimu-
lating food should be Withdrawn. Meat
should be used but sparingly. Milk
should be the chief article Of diet. -
